While Governor Bodwell was in St. Louis
one Of the papers of that city put into his
mouth words to the effect that prohibition in
Maine was failure and that in trying to en-
force the law he had undertaken a task that
he could not accomplish. The report was
manifestly fabrication; yet it was tele
graphed all over the country and eagerly
seized upon by papers hostile to prohibition
as the text for long editorials denouncing
the MAINE idea" We now hope that those
same papers will be as Jealous to spread
abroad the vigorous denial of such senti-
ments which Governor Bodwell has made.

in favor of it. In the towns the prohibition
law is enforced; in the cities there are so
many difficulties in the way, so much decep-

as in the towns, and yet it is enforced there
as well as most laws of the State. do not
believe that prohibition will close every sim

tirely prohibit stealing The law has very
much decreased the sale and use of liquor in
the State. This every candid man will adj
NIT who has inquired into the matter On
the other hand, it is success, and believe
that the longer the law exists the more the
sentiment OF the people will grow in its
favor. Where the law has been taken hold

forcement. Although there may have been
at the outset a few little disturbances. still
having been carried out and the grogshops
closed, the people are pleased at its results.

law where the local authorities have failed

We have very nice line of Children
Hats and Caps that we are selling very low.
We have just received this morning, from
New York, a new lot of these goods, which
for style or price cannot be beat. We make
a speciality of these goods and of course have
the largest selection and lowest prices.
We have, also, very fine assortment of
Mems and Boys Hats, Caps and Gloves which
we are selling at prices that our competitors
cannot touch Don't pay fancy prices when
you can get the same article for great deal
less money. Our expenses are not one-half
as much as any of our competitors, so that
we can sell on smaller margin. All we ask
is to give us call, examine our goods and
get our prices.

THE BAyARD- -ITABTIN LIBEL
 SUIT.

The Demurrer Sustained.

The defendant was indicted by the grand jury of thls county of tue crime of malicious libel, charging that the defendant did. in inc Jonrnal-Niner, Of which the defendant is editor and publisher, unlawfully. wiIfpIIy and malieiously injure and vihfy the good name and to impeach the reputation of James A. Bayard, Secretary of the Territory of Arizona, and to bring into public scandal, h<iFed, nfamg, and disgrace. Which publication is alleged to be as follows:
 Since Secretary Bayard is too much on his dignity to say whether or not he said he thought more of an Indian than of poor white man, we will state that he did, and was overheard by two men,
 4 demurrer is Interposed for several causes; only one of which is 1t neces- sary to notice, viz: Whether the words published are libelous per SC. The question of antiquities and in ucndoes does not arise. These words speak fer themselves and are not in the nature of inslruations. Cur Statute defines a libel to be malicious defamation, expressed either by printing or by signs or pie lures or the like, tending to blackan the memory of one who is dead. or to impeach the honesty, integrity, virtue or reputation, or publish the natural defects of one who is alive, and there | by to expose him or her to public hatred, contempt or ridicule."
 Are these words IibeIous? If they were true, 1 cannot see how the reputation of Mr. Bayard could be injured. Such an opinion would make hlm unpopular ln this section or the country.
 Many opinions might make one hated in a community.
 In some communities in California man draws upon himself public hatred. contempt and redIcule who says that Chinese Iab,r is a blessing 10 the country, and yet dono5 aprro- hond that any court would hold that 1t was libel to charge man with utter ing such sentiments. During the civil war had a man in the North declared that It was an unholy war waged against the South, and he should te published for so stating. though it would have brought him under public hatred and contempt, yet it would not be seriously contended that that publisher could bs indicted for libel. fin the South it should bo charged that one had said he wished the North would conquer the South while il would have made him hated, would the publication that he had so spoken have been @ libel? Certainly not.
 There must be some moral delin- quency charged upon person, or publication of natural defects, expo |
 sing him to public hatred, contempt or ridicule.
 It must be an allegation Of some act done and performed which involves moral wrong, and thereby affects his reputation.
 With these views it follows that the demurrer be sustained.

 X life insured for $1,000-000 will soon be one of the eurioslties exhibited by the rich men of this cIty of iron barons and coal kings-Pittsburg. That city r .sel t carries the largest insurance policy in the, United States. Dr. David Hostetter, the railroad magnate and patent medicine manu- facturor, is the person referred to. Ills death alone would be worth 2600,- 900 to his hers, as that is the amount of money hIs life is at present insured for. Only this week be added $50, 900 more to this big policy. His am bition is to have $1000.000 as the aggregate of the policies, and to that end he will place $400,00O more on his life during the present year His wealth is estimated atS11,000.O00.
 It is only. .forty'years ago since this same Dr. Hostetter peddled his noto- rious bitters around the streets and cities of the country in pack on his hack. In 1850 he succumbed to the gold fever and started for California. He vent on shipboard via the Estbmus of Panamar, and for three months lay on the Isthmus waiting for a ship con- nection. Seven passengers on the boat in which he sailed died of mala- rial fever during the voyage 10 the California coast. He went into busi- ness as a grocer in San Francisco, but a fire swept away his building and left him pcnniless. h 1853, having a short time before returned to tue East. he came to Pittsburg and com menced on a small scale the manufac- ture of his medicine.
 THEN AND VOW.
 Then Dr. Hostattcr was worth but the mere money hemade day Jy day. Now he ranks next to c. ". Critten- dqn. Of New Esfrk. as the largest and Wealthiest TSsAnt-madlciUe man on the continent. Heis the leading cap italist engaged m building the famous South Pennsylvania Railroad, and was the JjtteroPponent to Fanderbilt's ioj to sell cut that line to the Penn sylyania Railroad Company. He is now heavily interested in the Reading Railroad. and is Franklin 5. Gowan s right-hand man in reconstruction and extension measures.
